Thanks Eric - I had tried this and failed with
install.packages('callr',destdir='c:/myRLib')
Installing package into ?C:/myRLib?
(as ?lib? is unspecified)
There is a binary version available but the source version is
later:
binary source needs_compilation
callr 3.3.2 3.4.0 FALSE
installing the source package ?callr?

I also tried

with the same result. There's something more here that I'm unable to
discover.

Looking at the documentation ?install.packages
it seems that if you modify your call to something like
install.packages('callr',destdir='C:\tmp')
you might be ok. (caveat: I did not try this)
You should make the directory C:\tmp (or whatever you use instead)
before you issue this call.

Actually there was progress as after it failed it removed the folder c:/myRlib/callr, which means it had used it. Seems good. I think you might find the discussion here to be relevant https://community.rstudio.com/t/cant-install-package-remotes-when-trying-to-install-devtools/34121 Good luck, Eric On Thu, Dec 12, 2019 at 6:08 PM David Stevens <david.stevens at usu.edu> wrote:> > Thanks Eric - I had tried this and failed with > > install.packages('callr',destdir='c:/myRLib') > Installing package into ?C:/myRLib? > (as ?lib? is unspecified) > > There is a binary version available but the source version is > later: > binary source needs_compilation > callr 3.3.2 3.4.0 FALSE > > installing the source package ?callr? > > trying URL 'https://cloud.r-project.org/src/contrib/callr_3.4.0.tar.gz' > Content type 'application/x-gzip' length 100129 bytes (97 KB) > downloaded 97 KB > > * installing *source* package 'callr' ... > ** package 'callr' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked > ** using staged installation > ** R > ** inst > ** byte-compile and prepare package for lazy loading > Fatal error: cannot open file 'C:\Users\David': No such file or directory > > ERROR: lazy loading failed for package 'callr' > * removing 'C:/myRLib/callr' > Warning in install.packages : > installation of package ?callr? had non-zero exit status > > I also tried > > install.packages('callr',lib='c:/myRLib',destdir='c:/myRLib') > > with the same result.

Thanks Eric - I'll follow up with this link. I'd tried some of these things before but I'll keep after it.
